WINDOW- CORNICE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 360,669, dated .Aprilv 5, 1887.

Application filed November 12, 1886. Serial No. 218,699.

To all whom, it may concern:

Be it known that l, WILLIAM C. Descr-IER, of the city, county, and State of New York, have invented a new and Improved Window- Cornice, of which the followingis afull, clear, and exact description.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specitication, in which similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the figures.

Figure 1 is a front elevation of my new and improved window-cornice, showing the end section extended in dotted lines. Fig. 2 is a rear elevation of the same, and Fig. 3 is an enlarged sectional elevation taken on the line x x of Fig. 2.

The invention will first be described in connection with the drawings, and then pointed out in the claim.

A represents the front piece of the cornice, ornamented in any desired manner and provided at its back with the two cleats B B, which are rabbeted to Vform the inwardly-projecting flanges a a. The cleats B B prevent the front piece, A, from warping, and form ways for the two end sections, C O, which are also suitably ornamented at their outer ends and slide freely in between the cleats, so that by extending them or shoving them inward the cornice may be adjusted in length to suit windows of dit'- ferent widths. At the center of the back of each section Gis secured a narrow strip, D, which strengthens the section and prevents warping, and through each strip D and the section C is formed a slot, d, for the passage of a screW,f, for holding the section in place. The inner ends ot" the slot-s d are closed by a small transverse block, lz, so that the sections cannot be drawn entirely out from between (No model.)

cured the inwardly-projecting boards C' C',

which iinish the cornice at the ends.

I am aware of the construction of the extension-cornice shown in the Patent ot' J. M. Montgomery, October 10, 1882, No. 265,857, wherein the end sections are operated by an endless cord passing over pulleys held by cross-pieces at the back of the body of the cornice. I am also aware of the construction of extension-eornice shown in the patent to J. IV. Campbell, March 13, No. 373,814, wherein the end sections are provided with blocks secured to their backs, which blocks move in slots extending` entirely through the back bar, and are held in place by clamps overlapping the rear side ofthe back bar, and I therefore lay no claim to either of these constructions; but

XVhat I do claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

The front piece, A, provided at its back with the flanged cleats B B, and vertical plates J, secured at their ends to the cleats B B and in the center to the front piece, A, by the screws f, in combination with the two slotted end sections, C, having the corresponding slotted strengthening back strips, I), and provided with the stop-pieces h, which close the slots cl, substantially as described.
